There was nobody in the United States
who would embrace the idea of

influx of money to New York, was going
on from the west and south, results of the
movement of crops, and the fall liquida-

sections. Inquiries made of men in high
financial standing, demonstrate that this
statement was not only premature, but
was really misleading. With one accord
the bank presidents and cashiers, who
were interviewed, declared that they
were receiving no money from the south
or west. or SO little as not to be worthy
of remark.
